Declaration of Fealty to the Queen

Praise be to God, Queen Jennifer.

My name is Freya Brande, Guardswoman of Cordor and Dreadmaster of the Reformational Fundamentalist Church of Bane. We are an independent faction of the Banefaith on Arelith, and we have settled in your mighty city in hopes of supporting your rule and uniting with you in faith and creed.

My Church would like to swear our fealty to you and your rule, as the highest-ranking Banite on Arelith, and recognize you formally as our Imperceptor - the highest regional head of the Banite faith. We submit to your word, and place ourselves at your command as a follower of God. We also acknowledge Cordorian law as Banite law, and swear to uphold justice and order throughout your rule.

Our goal is to align the faith of the Black Hand with the role of order, authority, and power. We hope to be a benefit to your domain and bring respect for His faith to the people of Arelith. The Banefaith is in poor health - but we hope to remedy that with your support and guidance.

We would like to start by building a temple to His faith within Cordor. It is only right and proper that His faith is represented upon Cordorian soil. We have secured a home to serve as an interim place of worship for now, though a proper temple would be more suitable. If it is possible to consider a building project within Cordor, my church and I would be honored to assist with it.

In the meantime, we will continue contributing to your city in whatever way we can. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if there is anything we can do to aid you.

May your enemies tremble in your path,

Dreadmaster Freya Brande
